Geneva Town Hall is still arranged in such a way that it is convenient to drive a horse-drawn carriage directly into the meeting hall. In Switzerland, they honor history, and this distinctive tribute to the past makes this place recognizable and interesting for tourists to visit.
To this day, the two councils of the canton of Geneva, its executive and legislative authorities, still meet in the town hall, and numerous assemblies and meetings are also held here.
As you can imagine, individual walks around the city administration building are out of the question, so to take a look inside, you need to join a tour group. Only this way will you be able to see the most secluded corners of this place and appreciate how its architecture has changed over several centuries.
If you are lucky enough to be in Geneva in the summer, try to attend the classical music concerts that take place in the town hall courtyard during the warm season. As a rule, many well-known locals gather for them, and the historic «scenery» gives the concert a unique charm.
